Early Promotional Material

Here's an amusing collection of some early promotional material for the DCA Tower of Terror I found while browsing around YouTube:


This one amusingly includes ZERO footage of the DCA attraction, instead taking the entirety of its footage from the Florida attraction and clips from the Tower of Terror TV movie.  According to Mrbellcaptain, this one may have been from the "coming attractions" of the Eddie Murphy Haunted Mansion movie DVD.


This 2004 commercial actually uses the exterior of the California Adventure attraction, albeit with entry gates that look more like Florida's.  All of the interior shots, however, are still from either Florida or the movie.


I'm not sure where this clip came from, but this short video from circa 2004 is quite informative.  Among other things, it includes the DCA Tower's official height (183 ft., many sources confuse its height with Florida's 199 ft.), alongside some fun facts about the exterior design and how the fake webs in the lobby were made!

EDIT: Here's one more!


Here’s another c. 2004 commercial for the DCA Tower!

This one’s unique in that, not only does it show the correct exterior, it even has footage of the actual DCA lobby (or a set dressed like it). The shot of the bust falling over as the elevators crash definitely shows DCA; you can see the King’s portrait and display case in the background.

For those of you who follow the Tumblr version of this blog and wish to reblog the videos individually, here are the links to the posts: (1) (2) (3) (4)
